That is what this article suggests. It makes sense that when one doesn’t feel well, he/she will react emotionally or behaviorally. An example of this is when a baby cries. It usually means he or she is feeling something physical, be it hunger, feeling tired, or wet. The fact that you react and feel overwhelmed during the one week/month is indeed another example of how the body can affect the mind. It does not sound out of the ordinary to me. The idea that you turn to addictive or unhealthy behaviors which affect yourself and your relationship is another story. I would definitely suggest seeking therapeutic advice about learning specific strategies of what you can do to help. The example you gave of “self talk” is a wonderful coping skill. If it’s not enough, however, you can find other things to do to keep yourself and your relationship whole. You may even want to talk to your medical doctor about something you can take to help with the pain or mood swings. I would also be happy to discuss your issues in more detail at <a href="https://docinthebiz.com/subscribe.html" rel="nofollow">DOCintheBiz</a> if you wish.

This is a once a month struggle for me. My hormones get the best of me and that one week in the month is a killer. That week, I am down, and I will turn to additive behaviors which are not really that bad but feels really compulsive and out of control. I feel overwhelmed with things and I feel dissatisfied with my relationships which are really good in my mind the other three weeks of the month. It took me a while to figure out what was going on as I still have hormones but that's all. I had surgery and had my uterus removed several years ago. Now I just try to discount my feelings and think, "I can get through this week. Hang in there. It will all look different in a few days." Got any advice here?

You mention a nice balance of staying focused and in control of your thinking to help with time management and getting things done; however, you also stop to "smell the roses." I think that's wonderful! Thank you for your comment and I hope you'll continue to keep reading. Dr. KC www.DOCintheBiz.com Dear Lim Ee Hai,

I agree that to control this brain of ours, we need just to stay focus. Ultimately we are the master of our brain and our thinking. By discipling ourself, our strength in controlling our thinking will be improved over time. I have been telling myself of this to save valuable time and not to deviate and do unnecessary thing. However, at times, I do pamper myself and allow abit of "off-tracking" to enjoy the surrounding. Thanks for the sharing in your post. I like it. We have only one brain, but many thoughts.

I was told to imagine a bucket deep in my lower belly area. Every time I took a deep breath, I was to imagine the air going in, falling in the bucket and then coming back out as I exhaled. I tried immensely to concentrate and follow my OWN advice to work on relaxation techniques to soothe my busy hectic life; however, whenever I would hear the cat’s feet walking across the carpet, I would start to laugh and have to begin my concentration all over again. This leads to the comment that Eric shared about how imperative it is to eliminate distraction and develop a deeper, more intense focus. I, myself need to work on this more too!
